About terriko

Terri has a PhD in horribleness, assuming we can all agree that web security is kind of horrible. She stopped working on skynet (err, automated program repair and AI) before robots from the future came to kill her and got a job in open source, which at least sounds safer. Now, she gets paid to break things and tell people they're wrong, and maybe help fix things so that people won't agree so readily with the first sentence of this bio in the future.
Terri writes/tweets under the name terriko, enjoys making things and mentoring others and has a plain ol' home page at http://terri.toybox.ca.

I admit I also found it a bit weird that it was unpaid, which is why I made sure it was clear in my posting (it’s a bit buried in the original). I guess it’s not that odd for non-profits, really, just a bit unusual for tech jobs maybe?

For someone taking up any of our internships in the Boston-area, we do cover public transportation costs, of around $60 a month. This gives our interns at least the ability to go pretty much anywhere within the greater Boston area, as much and as often as they like, without incurring any costs.
